President an(i Mrs. Hoover Welcoming Various Groups Of Visitors in Wzishington Sm:iety program of Capital Embraces Many Con- spicuous Events—President-Elect of Colombia to Be Honored. BY SALLIE V. H. PICKETT. HILE the social plans of the Figst Lady of the Land for the Spring season still are in abeyance, and there is little but the reception of various interesting persons and groups of persons on the White House daybook, there is no lack of general activity. Both the President and Mrs. Hoover are interested Personally in the many groups who are received by them, and special nterest attaches to their reception Wednesday afternoon for the delegates attending the annual congress of the National Society, . A. R. The President’s sister-in-law and guest, Mrs. Theodore Hoover, is a candidate for national vice president of the organization. OTHER patriotic bodies are to be received at the White House, and, in fact, the entire city seems set, with flags flying, for the Daughters of 1812, the Children of the American Revolution and other organizations are to be fleeting guests there. Few, indeed, are the official households where there are not guests and important entertainments planned for the D. A. R. Groups of Senators and Representatives’ wives are holding large receptions, and Mrs. Edward Everett Gann, the Vice President's sister, is assisting at several. RS. HOOVER is adding 50 Louis XV gold chairs to the east room furnishing, so it is said, each to be upholstered in blue silk damask, The frames are richly hand carved, and the most skilled workmen of the Onidacraft in Middle New York are engaged upon them. Several hundred small, stiff gold chairs are always supplied in the east room for musicales and on such occasions as first showing of moving pictures. Otherwise, any one going into the east room— where Abigail Adams hung the family laundry—must sit on uncom- fortable Roman benches or just stand up. The chairs will be used on all occasions and at musicales where Ambassadors and other such distinguished guests are entertained will serve as the seats of the mignty. MANY delightful events crowd the social calendar, and if the President-elect of Colombia, Dr. Enrique Olaya, arrives in Wash- ington in time to appear at the pan-American concert to be given on Easter M ay night, he will receive an ovation of several kinds. Dr. Rowe a: governors of the board of the Pan-American Union will greet him with all formality. Dr. Franklin Adams, ccunselor of | the union and the director of these concerts, in which only the music of the Western Hemisphere is rendered, has secured an offering called “The President’s March,” and this will be performed for the first time. The Colombian President-elect will make a brief speech immediately after, and this concert on April 21, apart from the universal interest expressed in all these musical events, will attract a notably brilliant audience from the corps and from the official and social world. The Minister from Colombia is the first Latin American diplomat serving in Washington to be elected President of his country while filling that role, and his colleagues will take cognizance of this unique occurrence. WITH Easter Sunday but a week away, every possible opportunity is watched for paying off some social debt or fulfilling some obligation. The Congressional Country Club’s first bal masque will engage several hundred members of society Easter Monday night, the delightful environs of the club affording endless opportunity for dancing and other pleasures. > HE President and Mrs. Hoover are genercusly lending their names wherever possible to further some helpful movement, and, fol- lowing the precedent of other Chief Executives.
